About ThinkUKnow Australia Check this out….
ThinkUKnow is a partnership between the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Microsoft Australia, and is now proudly supported by ninemsn. We really like working together because we each bring something different to internet safety education. Our AFP guys and girls bring knowledge about how things can go wrong online because they've seen it happen before and they don't want to see it happen to you. Our friends at Microsoft and ninemsn know all about how to use the technologies and why they're so much fun! Together, we want to make sure that you make the most out of what technology has to offer, but make sure you are safe from any of the bad stuff that could happen.
